That’s the look you get after years of doing your fucking best and not letting anyone see how broken you are. That’s the look of being told you’ll never be good enough anyway. That’s the look of someone who spent his whole life getting emotionally abused, and learned a long time ago that denying verbal abuse just makes it escalate. someday I’ll write some meta about how IM2 is all about Tony being abused physically and emotionally and him not fighting back because he’s been abused all his life and he’s experiencing classic re-victimization ‘if you attempt to leave (escape) I will tase you and watch supernanny while you drool into the carpet’ Tony escaped a terrorist cell in the middle of the desert but these people they come into his home and they belittle him and make him feel like he deserves it they very directly set off his trauma from both his father and stane and he doesn’t even try to resist(via me)I haven’t written that meta yet but I still feel strongly about this -- source link
